Thanks, Russell, for this advice. It's always a hassle trying to figure that out and keep the continuity going of the message! I just write ggrandmother or ggrandmother. I like the "great ma 2" notation though. Cyrille ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less!

You can take the following for what it is worth: Here is a new, short cut way to refer to your ancestors without having to write great, great, great grandmother, etc. Use the tern great'ma or great'pa, meaning any ancestor before your grandparents. Such as I am researching my "great'ma's family". You can also say "great'pa 4" referring to your g-g-g-g grandfather. Russell P.

Good Morning All, well this is what I have: 1920 Easter Green is not listed on the census but, she is still alive. Death occurred in 1925, cause: Malaria, mother listed as 'Nannie' father listed as 'Friday Wright.' Age 'about 80' born in S. Carolina, informant Mike Green, her brother. 1910 Easter lives with son John and his family. Her age is listed as 60, listed as a 'widow' and is living in Clay Township, Bradley County, AR. 1900 Easter is listed as 'head of house,' age 50, widow, 10 children-6 living. Living with here is her son Ed, Granddaughter Sallie Banders and a niece by the name of Nancy Harmon. 1890 Not available. 1880 Easter is head of house, age 31, keeps house, born in S. Carolina Peter-B-M-age unreadable-Arkansas James-B-M-6-Arkansas Sallie-B-F-5-Arkansas John-B-M-1-Arkansas AULT (?), Evaline-W-age unreadable-Arkansas 1870 GREEN, Michael-18-M-B-S. Carolina , Easter-20-F-B-S. Carolina , James-5-M-B-Arkansas , Puss-17-F-B-S. Carolina , Victoria-8-F-Arkansas (Every census record from 1870-1920 is in Clay Township, Bradley County, AR.) 1866 Freedman's Bureau Labor Contracts, field office Monticello, Drew County., Entry 393-Labor Contracts Employer Contacts Employee's Age Term of contract W.H Green Nannie 63 Rations/Clothing Estes 15 $3.00/Rations/Clothing and infant Mike 10 Rations/Clothing Puss/Victor 8 Rations/Clothing Perry 23 1/10 of all crop raised on farm of employer except potatoes/2 suits of clothes (This information found by Michelle Hood) 1860 Slave census schedule would have looked like this (by my calculations) 1-F-57-B (Nannie, born ca. 1803) 1-M-17-B (Perry, if he lived with them at the time, born ca. 1843) 1-F-9-B (Easter, born ca. 1850) 1-M-8-B (Mike born ca. 1851-2) 1-F-2-B (Puss, born ca. 1858) 1-F-1-B (Victoria, born ca. 1860-61, if born at the time of the census) When I was in Arkansas, one of Easter's grandson's mentioned that Easter had a sister sold away from her while traveling from S. Carolina to Arkansas, this sale took place in Mississippi, which gives me a migration pattern. Also, W.H. Green has purchased land that could have been 'anyplace' close to Bradley County, he lists his residence as Drew County, but he is not on the regular census or the 1860 Slave Census Schedule for Drew or any of the surrounding counties........what next? This is all I have..This is my BRICK WALL. Thanks all for your time, Dena
The following news item was extracted from the New Era, Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas: February 11, 1865 SHOCKING AFFAIR- WOMEN TORTURED- ROBBERY, MURDER & ARSON- A "REVEREND" IN IRONS, etc., etc. Six heavily ironed prisoners came up on the Lotus day before yesterday from Clarksville, among whom was G W Hutchinson, formerly Chaplain of the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry. The names of the other five are, W B Farmer, Company A, 1st Arkansas Cavalry, R H Atwell, Company F, 2nd Kansas Cavalry, John Sharks, Company A 2nd Arkansas Infantry, John Hudson, citizen, and C O Kimball, citizen, formerly of the 2nd Kansas Cavalry and more recently in the 2nd Arkansas Infantry. Ex-Chaplain Hutchinson, who resigned his position in the army some time last spring, in order to follow the real bent of his inclinations with more leisure, stands charged with heavy swindling operations upon the Government and people. How far his is incriminated with the deeds of the other prisoners can not be ascertained yet until a more thorough investigation of the whole case. The other prisoners stand charged with torturing four respectable ladies over a slow fire till they were horribly mutilated about their heads, shoulders and feet and with ravishing them, from the effects of which one died and the others are made cripples for life. One of the prisoners also stands charged with additional crimes upon the body of one of the victims which pen would shudder to record. The object of the cruel wretches was to obtain some money, a considerable amount of which these ladies were supposed to have in their possession. They lived about 75 miles below this place, in the vicinity of Clarksville. Three of the unfortunate victims are now at the latter place under medical treatment. Their houses were also burned down. Information was received here day before yesterday, that seven other persons had been put in irons at Clarksville, charged with being accomplices in the above crimes. We give the details of this horrid affair as we received them from the officer who conducted the preliminary investigation at Clarksville. A full trial will undoubtedly develop all the facts in the case and justice be fully meted out. Ex-Chaplain Hutchinson and C O Kimball were removed to Little Rock, yesterday, on board the Lotus.

You might have to rely upon the information on this family from the 1900 U. S. Census for Arkansas. Have you locate them in the census? Russell P.

Good afternoon, I want to commend everyone who worked on the Arkansas Prior Birth Index. I purchased the CD version at the AGS Seminar this weekend. It is really a fantastic research tool. In just minutes I have added middle names as well as complete birth dates. In one case, I found the birth information for a child I didn't know about. Thank you again for all your hard work.

Happy Saturday Afternoon All!! Yet, another question.... I know that William H. Green purchased land in Arkansas on Oct. 1, 1860, description W1/2NW 15 9-S 7W 5thPM Lincoln County (while that wasn't even a county as of that date, but he 'stated' he was a resident of Drew County in which he is nowhere to be found). Who do I go to find out when this land was transferred and/or purchased to/by someone else? This man is harder to find than my African American ancestors!!!!!!! Thanks All! Dena.
Sue, I also got a reply about a place called Mickles Switch which is on highway 10 between Ola and Danville in Yell County. That is just down the road from Magazine where the rest of the kids in that Meek family were born. Nice to know about the US GNIS web site. I've bookmarked it now.

Using the US GNIS (geographic names information system) web site (http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form), I entered Nickle into 'feature name', set 'Query variant name?' to Yes, and selected 'Arkansas' as the state. One result was a 'Nickleson Branch'. Selecting 'Nickleson Branch' and then selecting 'Show Feature Location' showed that it is a stream approx 30 miles south of Booneville. It is in Scott Co, not Logan or Garland.

Sir; I am looking for the obit of Mary E. Duke(s). She died in Little Rock, Ark. She is buried in Memorial Gardens in Hot Springs, Ark. The funeral home was Cruth's in Hot Springs, Ark. Her date of birth is Dec. 24, 1862. Thank you for your time, Frances Jackson
Does anyone know where Nickle Switch, AR is or was? It may have been somewhere near Cedar Glades in Garland County. Cedar Glades is under water now. All of the other kids in Samual Meek's family were born in Magazine, Logan County but the last one who was born in Nickle Switch. Most of the rest of the family (aunts, uncles, cousins) were born in Cedar Glades or Avant in Garland County. Thanks, Joe George
